Material removed from the nature of high resistance.
How many kinds of stone do you know?
Only I know three, marble, limestone and granite
What characteristics do stones have?
Finishes vary depending on usage and how to work the stone, can be smooth or broken.
Why are stones used in construction?
For durability and strength.
Stone is a natural resource extracted from quarry for the construction of structures and development of sculpture.This element has several advantages such as durability because it is a strong and consistent material. But as stone is a consistent material, to transport and cut it make it very expensive. Stone can be used for construction and it can be worked as rubble and ashlar-masonry. Rubble is the waste from brokenstone and masonry construction are cut blocks in regular shapes. Another characteristic of this material barely bonded. People have worked with stone for centuries, as an example of this are the temples that arose after the 18th Dynasty. The entablature of the temple is an example of ashlar-masonry. This material would replace the timber, but now the concrete is the most used.
The stone work has been reduced by their high cost. Now the walls, marble or granite floor work inside the building is more commonly used than stone.
